title: Formlabs Web API
description: >-
The Formlabs Web API (Dashboard Developer API) provides remote monitoring
and management of Internet-connected Formlabs products registered to a
Dashboard account. It exposes read access to printers, prints, resin tanks,
and cartridges, an event history feed, and full CRUD management of printer
groups and their print queues. Typical use cases include automated reports
on printer and material usage, job history exports, and integration of
printer status into ERP / MES / custom systems.
